What is a School Resource Team? A School Resource Team (SRT) is a school-based team that meets regularly to discuss strategies and supports for students. When is a student referred to the SRT? When a student requires additional support or is having difficulty at school, the classroom teacher starts the problem-solving process. This should involve consultation with parents, other staff in the school including the special education teacher, and the in-school team. School staff may suggest academic accommodations or other strategies to support the student. When it is deemed that additional expertise should be involved in the problem-solving process, the student is referred to the SRT. When a student is referred to the SRT, parents will be contacted to give their consent and invited to participate in the SRT meeting. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend all SRT meetings and participate in making recommendations to support their child. Who is on the SRT? The School Resource Team is comprised of school staff, parents, professional services staff (Psychoeducational Consultants, Child and Youth Counsellors, School Social Workers, Speech/Language Pathologists) and others as appropriate. What is my role as a parent? Parents are an active participant in the SRT and are welcome to contribute to the discussion and ask questions. Helping Students Grow
